Sean Dyche talks to Sky Sports. “It was capitalising on the performance from ourselves … we got in good moments but never really threatened … never asked questions … you have to penetrate … disappointed … we have been looking a threat … but we didn’t once we got into the final third … we got in some good areas … we didn’t hit the right zones … we did that so well last week … one of those frustrating nights … there’s not much in the game … not particularly good from either side … but you have to get something from it … I didn’t think we did enough to lose it, but we didn’t get anything from it … [the penalty] is a loose leg … people go down, that’s the way it is … should have dealt with it earlier … the fine margins of football … there wasn’t loads wrong … one of the biggest things you have to do is handle praise … we got praised rightly so for a very big performance last weekend … that fire and intent was lacking … that edge that we showed in abundance [last weekend] wasn’t quite there tonight … that killer instinct … killer edge … we gotta do the basics better.”
